1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham (The Olds)

About

My Olds was purchased new by my Mother in 1984 and was well equipped with all the luxury options available. It was a real highway cruiser with a gutless 307 Olds engine and 2:14 rear gears. In 1990 my Mother purchased a new Lincoln Mark VII LSC and I bought the Olds from her. The Olds was my daily driver until 1995 when I took it off the road to begin the transformation from Mom's Grocery Getter to my Hot Rod. Out came the 307 and in went a .030 over 1971 350 Olds SB, TH350 transmission, and 3:73 posi from a Monte SS. I removed all the chrome trim and vinyl top and did all the body work myself. Added a 3" Cowl Hood and had a friend shoot it with Grey Epoxy Primer.
